Luke 8:2 - The disciples looked into the face of God and felt totally accepted but did they also totally accept the women who Jesus had traveling with them? It was highly unusual for a Rabbi to bring women with him on his travels. Why did Jesus accept these women if it meant that His message might be rejected because of the scandal it could cause? Are the relationships with these faithful women part of His message of how His coming is changing everything society has known up to that point?
